Default Filters - How do I?

I am receiving email that is flagged as spam by my ISP's email server. It adds
"*** SPAM ***" to the subject line.

I created a "rule" to move such messages to the deleted items folder and to mark
them as "read". However it's not working.

I also cannot seem to find where I can edit the rules or filters. I can only add
a rule to an existing message in the inbox which as I said, doesn't seem to
work. I'm still seeing them.

When I looked at an existing rule it seems to be filtering on the entire subject
line rather than the spam bit. When creating the rule I edited out the
extraneous text so that it'd only filter on the text "*** SPAM ***". But that
appears to be the title or the name of the rule rather than what it's filtering
on.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
